EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 En el primer año de Ciro, rey de Persia, para que se cumpliera la palabra del Señor pronunciada por Jeremías, el Señor despertó el espíritu de Ciro, rey de Persia, y este mandó proclamar de viva voz y pro escrito en todo su reino:	1 In the first year of Cyrus, king of the Persians, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of the Persians, so that the word of the Lord from the mouth of Jeremiah would be fulfilled. And he sent out a voice, throughout his entire kingdom, and also in writing, saying:
2 «Así habla Ciro, rey de Persia: El Señor, el Dios del cielo, ha puesto en mis manos todos los reinos de la tierra, y me ha encargado que le edifique una Casa en Jerusalén, de Judá.	2 “Thus says Cyrus, the king of the Persians: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me, and he himself has instructed me that I should build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judea.
3 Si alguno de ustedes pertenece a ese pueblo, que su Dios lo acompañe y suba a Jerusalén, de Judá, para reconstruir la Casa del Señor, el Dios de Israel, el Dios que está en Jerusalén.	3 Who among you is from his entire people? May his God be with him. Let him ascend to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and let him build the house of the Lord, the God of Israel. He is the God who is in Jerusalem.
4 Que la población de cada lugar ayude a todos los que queden de ese pueblo, en cualquier parte donde residan, proporcionándoles plata, oro, bienes y ganado, como así también otras ofrendas voluntarias para la Casa del Dios que está en Jerusalén».	4 And let all who remain, in all the places wherever they may live, assist him, each man from his place, with silver and gold, and goods and cattle, in addition to whatever they may offer voluntarily to the temple of God, which is in Jerusalem.”
5 Entonces los jefes de familia de Judá y de Benjamín, los sacerdotes y los levitas, y todos los que se sintieron movidos por Dios, se pusieron en camino para ir a reconstruir la Casa del Señor que está en Jerusalén.	5 And the leaders of the fathers from Judah and from Benjamin, with the priests, and the Levites, and all those whose spirit was stirred by God, rose up, so that they might ascend to build the temple of the Lord, which was in Jerusalem.
6 Sus vecinos les proporcionaron toda clase de ayuda: plata, oro, bienes, ganado y gran cantidad de objetos preciosos, además de toda clase de ofrendas voluntarias.	6 And all those who were all around assisted their hands with vessels of silver and gold, with goods and cattle, with equipment, in addition to whatever they had offered freely.
7 El rey Ciro mandó tomar los utensilios de la Casa del Señor que Nabucodonosor había llevado desde Jerusalén y había depositado en el templo de su dios.	7 Likewise, king Cyrus offered the vessels of the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god.
8 Ciro, rey de Persia, los puso en manos del tesorero Mitrídates, y este los contó para entregárselos a Sesbasar, el jefe de Judá.	8 Now Cyrus, king of Persia, offered these by the hand of Mithredath, the son of the treasurer, and he counted these out to Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.
9 El inventario fue el siguiente: copas de oro para la ofrenda: 30; de plata: 1.000; cuchillos: 29;	9 And this is their number: thirty gold bowls, one thousand silver bowls, twenty-nine knives, thirty gold cups,
10 vasos de oro: 30; de plata: 410; otros utensilios: 1.000. 11 Total de los utensilios de oro y plata: 5.400. Todo esto se lo llevó Sesbasar, cuando se permitió a los deportados subir de Babilonia a Jerusalén.	10 four hundred ten of a second kind of silver cup, one thousand other vessels.
	11 All the vessels of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these, with those who ascended from the transmigration of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
